There’s only one grocery store in my city that bakes a specific type of bread from my home country. I make sure to buy 2 packs almost every week so they notice that they are being bought and don’t stop making them.

Probably because no one has decided to eat it yet.

Based on what I’ve read, short term options are stuff like HYSAs and CDs.

Thank you so much for the very detailed information! This is honestly the best direct advice I’ve gotten that is understandable for someone like me who knows nothing about it. I will use this info as a starting point and re-allocate my funds accordingly.

Great information. My house has solar but still has gas for the water heater and stove/oven. We use so little gas that our typical bill of $50 is broken down into $2 for the actual gas used, and $48 for the service and fees. I’ll definitely be looking into moving to fully electric in the future. I just need more time to figure out if the cost is worth it and we’re actually intending to live here for a very long time.

Thanks. Here’s a screenshot of my options:

You can see where I randomly allocated each of the 25% of my investment. Is “Vanguard 500 Index - A” the same as the S&P fund that everyone is recommending? And should I just move everything there instead? I’m guessing I need to choose one of the 2nd and 3rd in the list for the international side so I’m not overly dependent on the US market?

Spam or sardines are great with egg and fried rice too.

This happened to us, somewhat. We basically found the house ourselves and the process was streamlined enough that the agent barely needed to do anything except schedule dates like inspection, closing, etc. I know they are supposed to protect the buyer and make sure nothing fishy happens, and I’m sure they were doing that in the background (nothing bad happened overall), but boy was it one of the easiest commissions they probably got.

I never know who is replying to who on twitter screenshots at first glance. I know the format predates Elon, but the interface really sucks for any proper discussion.

I think someone who has the self determination to go ahead with this expects to not survive. Doing it and unexpectedly surviving and having to live a likely painful rest of your life is different.

With or without the tail?

I was thinking of getting a keypad, but I’ll definitely have a manual deadbolt along with it because I’m paranoid of it failing, so I’ll likely still be locked out either way.

Edit: I realized a deadbolt has to be locked from the outside, so maybe I won’t be locked out in that case.

If it makes you feel better, he’ll likely have a target on his back in prison, as people who hurt children are supposedly not well-liked in there either. So he’ll be living in constant fear and paranoia.

I use a bottle too when traveling but recently upgraded to a portable/manual bidet and it’s great. At home, I recommend you upgrade to an actual hose bidet. Very convenient.

Suspensions become worthless when they are treated like vacations. Guy should’ve been fired after the first offense.

Last night, when I was waiting in the car for my wife and we realized after she got in that her bag, where the house keys were, was still inside. She thought I had the bag with me in the car. Had to call a 24/7 locksmith because it was late in the evening.

Newton told Newsguard that Lee’s Facebook post misstated her story, and that the owner of the missing cat was “an acquaintance of a friend” rather than her daughter’s friend.

Lmao the neighbor who she supposedly heard it from said she heard it wrong, but not about the cat supposedly being eaten, but who the correct owner is.

I’m very much interested in what happens at the garlic festival.

There’s a caveat: That statement only applies to a house that’s designed to only have 2 viable doors.

Choosing a favorite is hard and it changes a lot for me. This time I’ll choose Porcupine Tree and recommend their album In Absentia.
